New tutorial out!

In this one we see how to render wind-swept grass in Max/MSP using a GLSL shader, especially the Geometry program.

This tutorial is largely inspired by an awesome video from SimonDev about rendering Grass in games (link on YT video description).

The tutorial is as always on YouTube Amazing Max Stuff: https://youtu.be/B0DV11x8KsU
Hope you like it!

10th video of the Jitter Beginners Course out

In this video we see how to use the [ jit.gl.multiple ] object to create multiple copies of the same 3D shape with different properties.
We then see how to animate those shapes using an audio input and the jit.mo package to get some sweet audio-reactive motion 🐎

For some time, I've been thinking about implementing audio/video games in Max, as I believe it's the perfect platform for this.

Today, I'd like to show you my first experiment: a Memory Game, but with chords! 🎶 You flip a card and hear a chord, then flip other cards and try to find the matching chord on your next flip.

A better iteration of this idea would be to hear all the chords at the beginning and then identify them based on memory. This could be easily implemented... if only I had more time!

The patch is a mix of JS, MSP, and Jitter, but I plan to make a tutorial and tidy it up for that occasion. Oh, and the images are generated with DALL-E from OpenAI—such a useful tool for something like this!

9th video of the Jitter Beginners Course out

In this one we see how to use the [jit.anim.node] object in Max/MSP to create hierarchical transformations between 3D geometries.
We then see how to use [jit.anim.drive] to animate geometries in the scene, also using our keyboard, and orient them toward the direction of their motion 🚀

Flying Camera Shooter - March 2024 Patch

To test out the new [gamepad] object, I have created this little playground patch.

You can control the first-person camera and shoot using any console controller (in the video I am using an old PS3 one) 🎮

Grab the patch on my Patreon (Professional Patcher tier 💪), blast them cubies and spheres and relieve some stress!

Max/MSP patch I made to answer a question that came up on my channel's Discord 🧪
